    got a conditional from glasgow!!! BOO YEAH! :bl:
    conditions: AAAA, which basically means A level in all of my exams (Latvian, French, English, Math). But I highly doubt that it will ever be possible for me to get an A in math...

    Re: Where y'all applying to for 2012?
    I'm from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
    Applying for chemistry at uni of Aberdeen, uni of Edinburgh, uni of Strathclyde, Heriot-Watt uni and St. Andrews uni
    I was rejected by Edinburgh and St. Andrews. And got conditionals from the other three.
    I'm torn between Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde, they both seem to have a good (comparable) chemistry department. I've visited both universities and I liked both. So I really don't know which university to choose.
    Strathclyde has lower requirements which I'm definately able to meet, so I could put them as insurance. But I think I might prefer Strathclyde over Heriot-Watt.. Does anyone know which uni is better?

    I think both are just as good with the course to be completely honest.

    Heriot Watt is a much much nicer place to be though

    Why do you find Heriot-Watt to be a nicer place to be? Because I don't really like how far away from Edinburgh it is. I guess the buildings are a more modern and slightly prettier.

    Because of the location but mainly the place in general - Lovely open green areas full of ponds,trees,plants playing fields etc!

    It's 20 Minutes by bus to Edinburgh, and the buses go from the uni all day and night for about a quid or two. It's also about 30 minutes from glasgow - so for me that seems ideal.

    Personal preference really
